From their parents they learned all of the grape secrets, from the wine growing to the winemaking. The family is also behind the well-known Champagne Scieur & Fils, now managed by Michel, their older brother.

Both sixth-generation champagnemakers, brothers François and Jean-Paul Scieur have studied and researched local winemaking methods to create three exceptional sparkling wines favored by sommeliers: the Blanc de Blancs, the Sélection Royale and the Sélection Rosée.

Chapelle Ste. Agnès Vineyard

2565 Chemin Scenic
Sutton Quebec JOE 2K0

Located in the Sutton Mountains of Southern Quebec, the Chapelle Ste. Agnès Vineyard was established in 1997 by Henrietta Antony, a Montreal antique dealer. The Vineyard is named after a stone chapel built several years earlier on the same site, and consecrated to St. Agnès, a thirteenth century Bohemian saint. The Vineyard has over 7000 vines and is focused on the production of ice wine and other sweet dessert wines.

Author John Schreiner states. There is no Vineyard in Quebec with a setting more beautiful than Chapelle Ste. Agnès

The Vineyard is built on a steep hillside, with massive stone walls supporting 18 terraces. Thousands of tons of stones and gravelly soil were used to create the Vineyard. The rows of vines follow the gentle curve of the hillside, creating a veritable amphitheatre

The Chapelle Ste. Agnès Vineyard is largely cultivated by hand. The vines are planted close together in an Alsatian manner. To enable the vines to survive the harsh winter, most vintners in Quebec cover their vines with earth, a technique known as hilling. At the Chapelle Ste. Agnès Vineyard, the vines are spared the stresses of hilling and de-hilling. Instead, every autumn, each vine is individually wrapped in a coat of insulating material. In addition, the Vineyard is cultivated organically, without herbicides or pesticides.

The chapel was founded by Henritte Antoney. The winery was planted in 1977 under the direction of Christian Barthomeuf .

Owned by Stéphane Lamarre and Anik Desjardins, who purchased an orchard in Dunham, in 2006 and over the years we transformed it into a vineyard and cidery. Their annual production amounts to approximately 20 000 bottles of wines and ciders which we sell mainly at the winery.

They grow mostly hybrid varieties that were developed in Minnesota such as Marquette, St-Pépin and Frontenac

The English translation of ‘’Château de Cartes’’ is ‘’House of Cards’’. Growing grape vines in Quebec is a perilous and fragile task that requires patience, skill and technique. Just like building a house of cards! It is also a nod to the great "Château’s" of the world and in line with our dream of Quebec becoming known for great wines.

Léon Courville's vineyard!

With its 18 hectares of vineyards planted on hillside slopes towards Brome Lake, this elevated vineyard has a microclimate that allows to harvest late in autumn when the grapes reach a beautiful maturity.

Léon Courville is the winemaker and owner

Domaine Les Brome was born from the dream of Léon Courville. A lover of nature and land, a wine enthusiast, this collector and former chairman of the first commercial wine web site, acquired a land in Fulford in 1981. Seduced by the exceptional view that the property offers, it acquires over the years some of the neighboring lands to constitute today a magnificent estate of more than 350 acres.

In 1999, attracted by the profession of winegrower, he decides to put more than 4000 plants on the edge of his house. The vines grow and produce beautiful fruits. Léon Courville then decided to continue and produce superior wines on his land in accordance with the wine-growing tradition. The shop opens in 2005. It offers the wines from the 2003 harvest that attract attention and surprise critics. Thanks to this success, he decided to plant other grape varieties and enlarge the vineyard. His wife, Anne-Marie Lemire, joined him in 2005 to take over the marketing of the wines.

Domaine Les Brome now has more than 80,000 vine plants from 12 different grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Vidal, Maréchal Foch and St-Pepin. It produces whites, reds, rosés, wines of ice, a late vintage and a Champagne method.

 

Our wines are a reflection of the quality of our terroir, the meticulous care given to our vines, the rigor and the patience of the winemaking. It is with nature that we work and we make every effort to preserve it.

Our work is done according to the principles of reasoned agriculture, which favors a sparing use of products in order to control the weeds and the diseases, without any insecticide.
